    Match Thread Bristol R v Coventry Match Thread - Monday 26th Dec

    I just hope that win, draw or lose, we get behind, and stay behind the team and the new manager, take the rough with the smooth and drive the team forward. We will have setbacks, but I think most people agree that this is a pretty good appointment, and after the disappointments of the first half...

    I might be being thick, but who is this?

    Yes, let's give him every chance, welcome him to our club (if he comes), and wish him all the best.

    Slade's assistant??

    Good to see someone giving Oggy the respect he deserves.

    Well, put me in that minority too.

    Yes, I watched Bill Glazier in every home game between 1964 and 1970, and he was a great goalkeeper during a great time for the club ( I moved from Coventry in 1970 to a town near to where I think you now live, RSB). Who was the best? Not sure, but these are the two goalkeepers that I have...

    New Manager

    Bill Glazier was an excellent goalkeeper in a different era, so difficult to compare. Steve Ogrizovic played 507 games over 16 years for City and deserves respect for those statistics alone. None of our other goalkeepers match that level of consistency and longevity. Those who saw Oggy's...

    To The Misled and Affronted Sheffield United Fans - our right to reply...

    Do you think we could move on? This thread is a waste of time, let's use our energies on supporting CCFC, and not on worrying what other club's supporters are saying/singing. We sound like cry babies

    New Manager

    What's with the disrespect for Oggy? A great goalkeeper for us and a loyal club servant over decades.

    Match Thread Oxford Utd v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 19th Nov

    It was men against boys on Saturday, they were aggressive and muscular, and were in our faces from the first minute. We couldn't cope with it. The fault for this is two fold, the owners of the club, and T.M /M.V who got the transfer window totally wrong in the summer. The players and supporters...

    Well Gint, I guess it just shows how frustrated our supporters are - talk about 50 years of hurt?! - we're getting towards that! Let's hope that tomorrow they put in the kind of performance we can all applaud!

    It took me so long to get the car parked that I didn't get into the ground until just before kick off, and I didn't hear the Sky Blue song after that. I'm not blaming the fans for where we are, but I fail to see how abusing the players helps performance. The fault is with the owners of the club...

    1500 is a really good turn out, but what's the point of paying good money, going to loads of effort (that car park!!!) and then roundly abusing the players. It was a poor performance, but I did feel bad about the way many of our fans responded.

    I was at the game yesterday, and I have to say that I was embarrassed by our lack of support. We were unable to cope with an aggressive, muscular side, who got in our faces from the first minute. This is the result of the failed summer transfer policy, which has left us short of experience and...

    Time for us fans to stick together

    It seems that for some of our fans, support is conditional. If this happens, or that happens, I'll turn up. I guess it's understandable given the events of the last so many years. However, to me, the best way for fans to help improve things, is to turn up and support the team, to me, support for...

    Highfield Road Memories: Games

    Coventry 5 Halifax 4 My first ever league game with my dad, sat in the Main stand. April 6, 1963. - hooked for ever! Two other games from that time, v Sunderland F A cup 5th round, and Manchester Utd in the quarter final, so a great start to my Highfield Road career. Maybe that's why I'm...

    Highfield Road Memories: Best Player

    Some great players in the 60's, my hero Willie Carr, George Curtis, a rock, Gibbidy Gibson, so skilful, Ronnie Rees, 'blue eyed Ernie Machin etc etc. Then Cyril Regis, the cup winning defence, Dublin/Huckerby up front. How about Gordon Strachan at the end of his career? Does anyone remember an...

    "Nothing in particular " games that linger in the memory......

    It was Ipswich at home on a Friday night, we ended up winning 5 - 0 in the championship season 1966/67. Ring any bells? Freezing cold night, didn't matter, brilliant home performance!

    "Nothing in particular " games that linger in the memory......

    Snow I was at a night match in the 60's, very snowy, I think Bobby Gould scored a hatrick in the first half. The following day one of the national papers had a headline '999 but no help for.....' and showing a picture of the H R scoreboard. Just can't remember the team we played. Could have...

    Time to turn around the home form

    There have been some good posts here. If we love our club, and the primary aim is to help keep in League 1, then we as fans have to take the lead, and accept a responsibility for fully supporting the team in the next 3 home games, and driving the team on to the results (wins) we need. I don't...
